dylanjosh Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Wow none of those GI details excited me at all I don't like the bomb crafting idea. I always stayed away from Potion making and trap making in RPG's. Ugh. I think we'll be seeing more of Desmond early life. Posting details again for the new page. There are some new ones. - Ezio is looking for seals in Revelations. These seals hold the memories of Alair. They'll allow Ezio to peek into Altair's life (just as Desmond uses Animus to peek into his ancestors lives). - You'll control Altair through these sequences. - The bulk of the game is set in Constantinople which will be split into 4 huge districts (Constantin, Beyazid, Imperial and Galata) - You'll also visit Cappadocia - Ezio is over 50 years old in this game - Ezio has a new item called the hookblade which allows him to use ziplines throughout the city. UBI says that it speeds up navigation by about 30% - You can also use the hookblade to reach out and pull enemies in for a combo - Ezio can now make bombs through a crafting system. UBI says that there are over 300 bomb types - They've modified the control scheme so that circle/B will control the hookblade and triangle/Y will control project weapons and bombs - Eagles vision has become eagle sense. "Eagle sense let's you focus on a character and see where he's been," Amancio says. "You'll get an approximation of where he will go. If you're able to detect the path a guard will take, you can run ahead, set a bomb, and create a trap or an ambush." - They've expanded on the Borgia Towers concept in order to create a new system. Throughout the city there are Assassin's Den's, you'll need to complete various assault scenarios in order take down the Templar presence (UBI says that there's more variety than in the Borgia Towers). Once you obtain a den you'll be able to upgrade the buildings in that region along with adding ziplines across the rooftops. You'll also be able to change the guards from being hostile to neutral. - You can lose control of you dens as you gain notoriety. You'll be able to send your own troops after the templars if you're unable to make it back to the specific den that's being attacked. You can do that by making it to any of the other dens that you currently control. You'll also be able to install a master assassin to control a specific den and you'll never have to worry about it being taken over. - The assassin leveling mechanic has been increased from 10 to 15 - In order to make the world more immersive they've done away with traditional side missions in favor of random events. For example you may be traveling through a city and notice a shop owner being robbed or a little girl asking for help - They're using a new type of capture facial technology called Mocam that GI describes as an "intriguing amalgamation of traditional animation, performance capture and the fascinating new style of performance on display in games like LA Noire." - Desmond is placed back inside Animus where he finds a safe mode called the 'Black Room'. You'll be able to access Desmond's lost memories through that back door - The gameplay during Desmond's game is described as narrative-fueled puzzle sequences. "Through the manipulation and creation of geometry with the game world, Desmond seeks to reintegrate the splintered layers of his subconscious." - Multiplayer is returning but this time they're trying to give more focus to the narrative since that's a big part of AC - You'll be able to custom your character appearance and weapons as well as create guilds.

Maximus Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 why god ...why why cant they let out AC3 out already...... I seriuosly need to know the difference between this game and what you guys expect from a AC 3, is it a new assassin, new timelines or new locations or ... ? We may never get an AC 3, since they have decided to milk this franchise every year ala Call of Duty. We dont want an Assassins Creed 3: Retaliation2 now do we. As far as I am concerned I can't get enough of this game, really excited to play another Assassins Creed game. Ever since the Desmond memory in Brotherhood, had always wanted to play as an Older Ezio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayush12ice Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 We did play as Altair in AC II.Remember the dream sequence....when Desmond came out of the animus for the 1st time and started seeing things.... oh yeah now i remember. we finally end that sequence after taking a leap of faith, i think.

dylanjosh Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 At least you're not expecting a full Desmond game. :phew: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoctor Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 At least you're not expecting a full Desmond game. :phew: only reason for that is because you can't run around on rooftops in modern times with hidden blades up your sleeves killing people at will. you'd catch a bullet before you managed to kill half a dozen people.

Maximus Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 ^^ We have got 2 and a half ticks out of the 3 parameters this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoctor Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 ^^ We have got 2 and a half ticks out of the 3 parameters this game. actually, i'd say we have only half a 'tick'. the game will have ezio and altair, neither of which are new assassins. it will take place during the lifetime of ezio, which is the same timeline as the previous two games. unless you think advancing a story by 4 years counts as a 'different timeline'? and as for the location, it's set in the same time period and same region as the previous two games, which means it will feature the same style of architecture and the same reused assets. they'll model a few landmarks but that's about it... and that's your half a tick. a different location would be a proper change of setting like feudal japan or any of the other popular choices people wanted. where you have a complete change of scenery, architecture, people, culture, technology etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the middle of AC: brotherhood (except this game has no middle, because it does not seem to have an end, every time i turn around i get a new quest). And right this moment, i am tired of ezio, and his (slightly racist) english accent. These guys know that to add a '3' to the title, they need a new assassin, new locale, new script and completely new history books to mug up so the british guy can make wise-cracks on the locations. But to do that you need time. And why make the millions next year if you can make it this year. You wanna bet Constantinople will have assassin-friendly bales of hay and wells right above high points, retarded guards above patrolling above, crowds that don't mind you 'blending' in with them, and 'secret' areas to explore. Dragon Age 2 all over again. But i think the AC 3 will be set in Americas, probably during the war of liberation (would have been the civil war, but racism does not exist in video games). We have to link it eventually to Desmond in the present day, and they save on "research" (paid vacations). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Age 2 all over again. Of course it they'll have hay bales and carts everywhere. Is ACB your first AC game? It's a staple of the series. Plus one of the best things about these games is that they' don't take themselves way too seriously, sacrificing fun for the sake of realism (see: GTA4). That's why we have Ezio jumping off huge buildings and landing in hay, because of the awesome feeling it gives you. That's why he blends in with groups seamlessly.. .. what exactly is your complaint aboutt his? You want Ezio to change his clothes every 30 seconds every time he enters a new group? And why the comparison to DA2 when this game hasn't even released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to link it eventually to Desmond in the present day, and they save on "research" (paid vacations). stick with brotherhood, it's a game worth playing despite the fatigue. i'm not sure if they can do that with this new one though. anyone who played ac2 will know that it was glaringly obvious that it was cut short... the main memory sequences that were sold later as dlc and the insulting short section of 'rome' in that game which was basically just a long wall. i was under the impression that brotherhood was made so that they could fit in all the stuff they had wanted to put into ac2 but had to leave out due to time constraints or whatever. this game, however, is clearly an attempt to milk the franchise by doing the least amount of work required to put out a game that is just different enough to be sold again for full price. the concern this time is that it needs to be put out in one year, no matter what else happens.

Nemo Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 bleh.. dont listen to the naysayrs people. the game will not disappoint, so what if its a glittering rehash, it still would be awesome. anyone who loves AC will play this no matter what.

And why the comparison to DA2 when this game hasn't even released? I though my comparison to DA 2 was self-evident. My problem is that this is the fourth title in a franchise that hasn't bothered to change any of its gameplay mechanics since its inception. My problem is that the creators don't want to work for my money. That instead of hunkering down and creating a completely new experience they prefer rehashing old stuff. Their reason for this is economic rape of their fan-base, it has nothing to do with telling or completing the AC story, or showing Ezio dealing with old age. That is why i compare it to DA 2. Except that they bothered with creating a new character... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
